It certainly is about being a different time. Can't live in the past. A different scheme or play calling tonight wouldn't of done much. It's about talent on the field and coaching that talent and putting it in the best position to win. Both departments need to be severely upgraded, but the progress from last year to this year is multifold. Have to take it and move on and build on it. If Nick Saban were coaching the Huskers tonight I doubt the outcome would be different.

NU beat UCLA by pounding the ball with a FB and tailback. It worked. Why stick with what works. NU will never get the talent to run the same schemes as the big boys. It will always be 2nd tier players. You have to run a different offense that teams arent used to seeing. IE. pistol, wishbone, Power I offense etc.

Riley hasn't had a chance yet. Last year was a bye littered with the worst breaks in football. This year is a vast improvement but he is still having to use Pelini's guys. Talent, yes, but not elite. Although Banker is questionable as a D coordinator, Riley has focused heavily on recruiting and is doing a good job. Holding some good redshirt talent in reserve this year in QB and on the O line. It will be fun to see the new talent and look next year, especially O'Brien, who actually makes his reads and has an accurate arm. But this year will be viewed as a good 10-win season (with one disaster-tonight). Good things lie ahead.

I agree Frank. I'd be happy with 9 or 10 a year. None of these nights would be great though. I can live with last week. Obviously they are more talented. We saw that at Oklahoma. Losing by 20 or so would be understandable, but not enjoyable. Some bad breaks, some poor decisions, and a whole lot of tackling and assignment disasters make tonight unacceptable. Just hope this doesn't run into next week

The current class ranks is 25. Riley's first full class was ranked 26. Bo's last 2 full classes were 17 and 32. I thought it was time to move on from Bo, too, but just like tonight's game, we spent $9,000,000 to fire Bo and his staff and got what? A career 500 coach who has never won anything.

Actually, I'm irritated but not screaming. Looking at it objectively and over the past several games (4th quarter wins), the coordinators aren't getting it done. Special teams with the exception of the field goal team have hurt us repeatedly. I agree that Ohio State has great talent. Why is it then that Northwestern and Wisconsin took them to the wire? We didn't have our heads in it and the coordinators weren't up to the task.

Cornhuskers will finish the season 10-2 and go to a very good bowl game. Enjoy it fellas. Throw tonight's game tape in the trash. This is progress. Last week was a tough game, winnable game on the road against a solid Wisconsin team. Bad loss tonight. Riley wasn't and will never be Nick Saban or Woody Hayes. Be thankful for what we have.
